Jim Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are part of a vast flotilla of scientific and military ships going out to examine the artefact. The alien artefact working through its program under the clouds of Venus has emerged to build a massive structure outside the orbit of Uranus: a gate that leads into a starless dark. The race is on to discover whether this is the vanguard of an alien army, or if the danger lies closer to home.įor generations, the solar system - Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt - was humanity's great frontier. Then, on one of Jupiter's moons, a single super-soldier attacks, slaughtering soldiers of Earth and Mars indiscriminately and reigniting the war. The outer planets and the Belt are uncertain in their new - possibly temporary - autonomy. While Earth and Mars have stopped shooting each other, the core alliance is shattered. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and Holden, they both realise this girl may hold the key to everything. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money - and money talks. War is coming to the system, unless Jim can find out who abandoned the ship and why. A secret that someone is willing to kill for, and on an unimaginable scale. When he and his crew discover a derelict ship called the Scopuli, they suddenly find themselves in possession of a deadly secret. Jim Holden is an officer on an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. Humanity has colonised the solar system - Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond - but the stars are still out of our reach.
